Venting About My Knee

* I know a lot of you have heard me piss moaning about my knee, but its just getting out of hand. Most of you know I tore my ACL last December 2004. Surgery on Feb 14th 2005. 6 months of rehab and boredom. Back on the Ulti field in August. The knee felt really good and strong. I played in 4 tournaments from mid-Aug to mid-Oct with a practice 4 days a week during that time. Then come first game at Nationals I play about 4 points and on the 5th point that I'm in we turn it over. So I'm playing a little D and I try to footblock the guy I'm guarding. I plant my knee back down and it pops/cracks and I drop down in much pain. The pop/crack was identical to what it felt like when I originally tore the ACL. Needless to say I miss the rest of Nationals, I was in a lot of pain and the F-er just got real stiff. So about a week after that I go to the Doc and he says the ACL is fine and I might have a new cartilidge tear. Says to take it easy for a week and then try running on it. So, I do and it feels good. I start playing a little basketball and touch football. Since then I have had about 4 incidents where I plant my right leg and my knee pops/cracks. The first few times it felt a little uncomfortable but no pain and I just kept playing. Last night same thing, but this time some pain. It lasted for about 30 secs and then I felt decent and just finished the game. Afterwards it felt painful and now today is very stiff and sore. This sucks so bad. I'm going to see the Doc again on Monday now. All I can hope for is some sort of positive diagnosis from him.

* By the way, we lost last night 21-0. Yeah, got shutout. It was bad. The other team was really good though. They are now 4-0 and in first place. We are now 1-2. Oh and I didn't score a TD for the first time in 4 games (going back to last year). Actually I didn't even catch a single pass. The only thing I did was draw one pass interference call. Weak.
